These felling axe handles from Carters come in a variety of sizes and in two wood species (hickory and ash) - please make your selection from the dropdown box above:

• 30" (760mm) handle, to fit an eye that is approx 55mm x 20mm 
• 36" (910mm) handle, to fit an eye that is approx 60mm x 22mm 
• 36" (910mm) handle, to fit an eye that is approx 69mm x 23mm 
• 36" (910mm) handle, to fit an eye that is approx 73mm x 20mm 
• 36" (910mm) handle, to fit an eye that is approx 95mm x 24mm 

These are not quite 'fawn foot' handles with pointed palm swells as originally fitted to old English axes, however, the way they are made makes it easier to fit onto your axe head and then, if you prefer, you can trim the end for the more classic fawn foot shape.

Every handle comes complete with a single hardwood wooden wedge (typically oak or ash) and a single steel wedge. The wooden wedge may require sizing before fitting to accurately fit the eye of your axe. Apply a little propriety wood glue such as Titebond to the wooden wedge before fitting.

These replacement handles come without a pre-cut kerf but is easily created with a sharp panel saw. Manufactured in Sheffield, UK.
